The Prince of Wales carried out royal engagements in Cardiff on Thursday, undertaking solo duties as the Princess of Wales continues her recovery from planned abdominal surgery.
William visited the headquarters of Wales Air Ambulance in the city centre, where he met with charity crew members and staff. The visit held particular significance as the Prince had previously served as an air ambulance pilot with East Anglian Air Ambulance.

During his time at the charity's base, the Prince engaged in heartfelt conversations with medical teams and pilots, demonstrating his understanding of their challenging work. "His genuine interest in our operations was evident," one staff member noted.
The royal then proceeded to a Cardiff cafe, where he met with representatives from TCV - The Conservation Volunteers, highlighting his commitment to environmental causes and community initiatives across Wales.
Royal Family Health Updates
This solo appearance comes while the Princess of Wales remains hospitalized at The London Clinic following her surgery last week. Kensington Palace has confirmed the procedure was successful and that Catherine is "making good progress."
In a separate health development, Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles III will undergo treatment for an enlarged prostate, with the monarch sharing his diagnosis to encourage other men experiencing symptoms to seek medical advice.
The Prince's dedicated service in Wales underscores the royal family's ongoing commitment to their duties while balancing personal health matters within the family.
